LSU's Leonard Fournette Makes Auburn Pay For Midweek Trash Talk (Runs Through Auburn) BATON ROUGE, La. -- The length of time that it took for Leonard Fournette to make Auburn safety Rudy Ford eat his words: one play. The sophomore running back exploded through a hole for a 71-yard gain on LSU’s first play from scrimmage Saturday and then spent the next three quarters humiliating Auburn defenders as LSU destroyed its SEC West rival 45-21. Ford made headlines earlier this week by saying that it “shouldn’t be difficult” to defend Fournette, but he and his Auburn teammates never demonstrated the ability to do any such thing.
